3 EU Bio-economy Strategy Need for a coherent, supportive Research and Innovation policy environment Resource efficient use of biomass Trade offs between food, feed, bioenergy, bio-materials Increase agricultural productivity while protecting biodiversity, eco-systems and the environment Improving coherence and synergy between policies related to the bio-economy at EU level and encourage a similar initiative at regional and national level Support to the development of consumer markets for biobased products through market instruments Better informing consumers about product properties to promote more sustainable lifestyle Adapted from A. di Giulio (2014) Milan,

8 Maximising values from efficient, sustainable use of biological resources Identification of the benefits provided and the needs for knowledge, solutions and skills, necessary raw materials, energy, infrastructure, costs and risks, drawbacks for the main outputs for each sector, Application of transdisciplinary approach to develop new business models, evaluation of feasibility each sector should give priority on those areas, in which its value generated and performance is the best, and the types of outputs are non-replaceable leading to demand identify priorities as a starting point review, combine, adjust sector priorities to joint bio-economy priorities Improving yield, efficiency of using resources Circular economy - identification of main sources of waste generation and potential for prevention/reduction, reuse and recycling of waste Cascading exploitation of material over the whole life-cycle Transfer of knowledge, training, investment into innovation Milan,

9 Role of the ETP Food for Life An operating network at EU, national and transdisciplinary level -36 National Technology Platforms (NTPs) Definining joint industry led R+I strategy : Improving resource efficiency and sustainability along the whole food value chain is one of the main priorities Systematic application of the transdisciplinary approach of innovation is one of the key methods practical experience is available and formalised NTPs involve large number of SMEs NTPs are hubs for knowledge transfer, training

16 Bio-based Industries PPP- Benefits for Europe Develop the potential of waste as well as agriculture and forestry residues. Diversify and grow farmers incomes: up to 40% additional margins with existing residues. Replace at least 30% of oil-based chemicals and materials with biobased and biodegradable ones by Create a competitive bio-based infrastructure in Europe, boosting job creation, 80% of which will be in rural and underdeveloped areas. Deliver bio-based products that are comparable and/or superior to fossil-based products in terms of price, performance, availability and environmental benefits. The new bio-based products resulting from the BBI will on average reduce CO2 emissions by at least 50% compared to their fossil alternatives. Source: Bio-based Industries consortium Milan,

17 Management approach to ensure resilience for sustainable bio-economy Need for monitoring and risk reduction strategies to tackle hazards (immediate shocks + long term changes) effects on animal, plant and human health hazards disturbances, shortages in availability of resources and in market demands development, applicability of the technology, unfavourable trends in unexpected environmental impacts Sustainability of use of resources Management system approach Identification of hot points, where measures can be applied and are essential to prevent an adverse situation. Milan,

18 Illustration of the concept of management system approach of risk management strategies for the bio-economy Factors influencing the bio-economy - hazards Intervention actions and contingency plans Drivers (Cause of a hazard/incident) Monitoring - Who - When - What - Records Measures to support the bio-economy system - Contribution of the businesses, knowledge and solution providers and other stakeholders - Policies, systems, services, infrastructures Critical limit/level of the indicator Milan,

19 Conclusions Using a chain approach for re-evaluation of the processes along whole chain of biomass production and processing - exploitation to make optimal use of available renewable resources Exploration of using transdisciplinary knowledge and available/emerging solutions from the bio-based primary production sectors and industries and high tech sectors/kets (manufacturing, ICT, biotechnology, advanced materials etc.) Identification of sources and volumes of waste and potential for reduction and valorisation Establishing and maintaining an inventory of valorisable materials Supportive policy environment, eliminating policy and legal barriers Creating demand, markets for existing and new products Considering concerns of consumers/ users consumer education and transparency Repeated evaluation of feasibility of solutions demand, costs,prices technologies may change Milan,
